Traffic Management Plan
Overview
St John’s College acknowledges the complexity around traffic flow – both pedestrian and vehicular – within and immediately outside the St John’s College precinct. That complexity poses a potential risk, particularly to pedestrians, and the reduction of that risk demands cooperation from staff, students, parents, visitors to the College and external service providers.
It is imperative, therefore, that the following rules be observed:
- The 40km School Zones on Woodlawn Road;
- No private vehicles should park or stand on Woodlawn Road to drop, collect or wait for students;
- No private vehicles should park or stand on Woodlawn Road for the purpose of business exchange at the College;
- Parents should avoid using the main entrance during peak bus periods: i.e. between 8.35 am and 8.55 am, and 3.15pm and 3.35pm;
- Drivers must not pick up students from the main driveway;
- Drivers need to pick up students from the bottom driveway roundabout, adjacent the Kim Evans Oval.
For ease of movement and the safety of all involved the following parking directions are to be observed:
- Staff parking is available in designated areas.
- Visitor parking is available on the Front Drive.
- Student parking is available on the ovals.
All vehicles are to enter the College via Fr Smith Drive (adjacent to the tennis courts) with the exception of parents dropping off or picking up their children from the bottom drive (adjacent to the Kim Evans Oval). Cars parked on the bottom drive between the front gate and the driveway leading to the Kim Evans Oval may also exit via the bottom drive.
Pedestrians
Pedestrians should be alert to the possibility of vehicles at all times. Students are to use pathways wherever they are available and must use the pedestrian crossing on the main drive.
